Research direction

Reproduce the update flow on Windows 11 using the listed steps, the attached screenshots, and the linked build code. The payload names no source files or tests, so first locate the update and error-handling entry points; done means updating with an unsaved build no longer produces the repeated errors and the application can reopen normally.
